ALAPPUZHA, OCT. 13. The IUML Alappuzha district president, K.A. Kalaam, and the district secretary, B.A. Razzak, have said that they will initiate legal action against the Congress leader, V.M. Sudheeran, if the IUML leadership permits them. Addressing a press conference here today, they said that Mr. Sudheeran was raising baseless allegations that they had links with the mineral sand lobby and that they had worked against Mr. Sudheeran in the last Lok Sabha elections. Mr. Kalaam said that the allegation linking the IUML Alappuzha district leadership with the mineral sand lobby was as baseless as the allegations raised against Mr. Sudheeran on his links with a Tamil Nadu-based mineral sand mining company.
Inquiry
Mr. Kalaam said that the IUML Alappuzha district leadership had requested the UDF convener, P.P. Thankachan, the KPCC president, Thennala Balakrishna Pillai and the Chief Minister, Oommen Chandy, to order an inquiry into the allegations raised by Mr. Sudheeran. Mr. Kalaam said that though Mr. Sudheeran had complained that the IUML had ditched him in the last Lok Sabha elections, the Congress leadership had not supported the view. He said that it was a matter of suspicion why Mr. Sudheeran had begun attacking the IUML after Oommen Chandy became Chief Minister. The IUML leadership said that in the past Mr. Sudheeran had acted as if the decisions of the Congress and UDF leaderships were not binding on him. The Congress leaders who had resigned from Mr. Sudheeran's campaign committee during the last elections had pointed it out, Mr. Kalaam said.
Poll campaign
Mr. Kalaam said there was a decrease in the number of votes polled by Mr. Sudheeran in the areas where the IUML had no units. During the campaign, Mr. Sudheeran was blocked by Congressmen at Valanjavazhi. It was Mr. Sudheeran's declaration that he would not contest that had harmed his prospects, Mr. Kalaam said.
